Hi All!!
First I want to say, Privydigger I am sorry for your loss.
On a happier note. I have been out braving the evil, devil, heathen weeds (Poison Ivy & Oak). Have spent the last 3 weeks (as much as possible walking along the Ohio River at different locations from Leavenworth, IN to New Richmond, OH. Found a lot of mouthwatering shards but not much whole until we go to a little out of the was place near home between a chemical storage facility & a power plant. Then low and behold down a long, steep, scary, devil weed infested bank, I saw it, just a little twinkle from the nearly vertical 2nd layer bank. Can I get??? Is it whole??? I cut hand & toe holds in the bank and slowly make my way up to a good size tree root I can wedge my posterior on and try to scratch through the concrete like riverbank without tumbling down a 40 foot bank . Well I want to tell you all, if someone could of caught a video of all this, it would have been the AFV winner. Bear in mind, I’m forty, short, chubby, and have an artificial leg. Not the queen of Grace and Elegance!!! I am in heaven. Meanwhile my honey is asking me “What are you doing???? Have you lost your ever loving mind??? I gleefully reply “I found a whole one, no make that 4 whole ones!!!†He replies “You are going to kill yourself!†“Get down now!!!†I of course I feel like a naughty 4 year old at this point, not only am I finally getting to dig but I found something whole. A beautiful little Hires Household Extract. I know common. Not real old. But it was love at first sight. Ahhh… Finally in the dirt again. Found some type of food container a clear and an amber cork top ½ pint whiskey, slick. We hadn’t made it to the waters edge yet. My honey “With his hand on his hip†lecture me and points out the ledge I am digging under is covered with Poison Ivy and the roots I am cussing and pulling at are also Poison Ivy. He won… Down the bank I slide. Of course, I rip the seat of my britches out and get a stern lecture. But I am happy.
We continue on to the waters edge…It is a virtual rainbow of glass. I pick up the pretty pieces and put them on a board. Lots of pottery & crock pieces, too.
My honey yells to me, Come see. He found a whole Kilmer Swamp Root Kindey Liver & Bladder Cure. Lotsa bubbles and cool neck & lip. But it is time to go home. Cross your fingers for our next adventure.
